3rd top scorer in the league sets up 2nd top scorer in the league to score against a team that we always perform badly against and have a habit of poaching our better players and some of you still want a moan?

I had to pick up this old point, only because it's about the Blunts. I've always seen our results against them over the years as very mixed rather than always struggling, so I checked to make sure I wasn't going mad and the historic record is even more balanced.

Our historic record against Wednesday was very tight too but in the last 3 years we've won about 7 games against them, putting us comfortably ahead now.

O Hare would have been a good fit when Rudoni is not available - seemed back at his best last night
Click to expand...

I do think if we went up then someone like O’Hare who can press really well and is more of a defensive 10 would be ideal. We could then look to play the old box formation with O’Hare & Rudoni behind the striker (using O’Hare as the example player here, if someone else has his skill set that is also fine).

Apparently in negotiations to extend Haji's contract (as he is one of our better players). Uh Oh, how could that possibly happen reading the comments on here?

Don't hold much hope of Hadji coming back without injury! From what I seen of Uruguay they are pretty crude with their tackles.

4-1 up at HT and hasn't quite scored although he was close on the first,shot curled in from the edge of the area, then just as ht approached they got undone with an EMC esque bicycle kick .

Honestly that was an awful 50 mins from him, after 10 mins he couldn't be arsed. Not sharp, slow to react and his movement was poor. He needs to wake up because he will find himself on our bench and out of a world cup squad if those types of performances carry on.

We all do. The criticism is based on weeks of poor performances though, people aren’t making it up.

Every season he's had a spell where it looks like he's not slept for 2 weeks. He reacts 3 seconds too late, shoots from 30 yards into the stands when he should pass and generally looks lethargic.

Two months ago he was red hot. He looks now like the Haji of the end of the season who Nick wanted to lynch!

I dont think many think he is a bad player, but he is putting in bad performances of late. That has to change, form is temporary and hope he plays himself into it.

All strikers good through dry spells and we'll probably never know if anything is troubling him. Do we really think he isn't trying or can't be bothered in a WC season and given another opportunity to start? Honestly!

Genuinely think hes already burnt out, hes been playing in the international breaks, and now has Saturday Tuesday Saturday to deal with for the next 3 months. Hes never exactly been renowned for stamina has he?

I say this as a Haji fan, I would genuinely drop him for the next 2 and give Simms a go, he has earnt it in my view. Then bring Haji back for Charlton after some time off and hope he's back to it

Haji played 60m of USA's 5-1 win over Uruguay.

He was mentioned 4 times in the BBC text reporting, twice he was caught offside, had one show blocked than he got subbed.

I don't think he will start on Saturday.

Burnt out? He doesn’t break a sweat. I wish people would stop making excuses for him his general play and willingness to work hard have been awful. Simms deserves his shot he has worked hard when he’s been on
